I didn’t want to have a go at anyone after yesterday’s attacks in Kabul but it wasn’t the right time. Innocent people died and thoughts were rightly with them and the GOOD people of Kabul.
However, I cannot stand back and watch Ben Wallace continue to peddle his twisted narrative of lies and smokescreen. He is now resorting to throwing @domdyer70 under the bus in front of his friend @PenFarthing at his moment of greatest distress.
I’m not going to continue countering bully-boy wallace’s lies with the facts as I have done that to death. What I will say is
1) its sad it took 70+ deaths yesterday to see him leave his back bedroom
2) thousands of lives have been saved but that is due to the men on the ground

As of the situation for team #nowzad not perilous enough there are unsubstantiated rumours that the MOD have cancelled non military flights into Kabul airport including @PenFarthing charter flight due to terror threat.
I repeat - this is an unsubstantiated rumour at the moment and not yet confirmed.
If this is true then the 24 delay caused by Ben Wallace may prove to be the difference between getting team #nowzad out and their certain harm or even death.

It seems the planned aircraft ex Luton has indeed been cancelled. The team are trying to arrange an aircraft to coming in from a country near Afghanistan instead. Info sketchy and confused as is situation on the ground.

Could not agree more.
Lions led by idiots.
Wallace and Raab too busy defending themselves and peddling lies to get an effective grip of the matter on the ground.
Unforgivable behaviour from public serving ministers unfit to hold office.
They have blood on their hands.

… and I am saying this through gritted teeth. For the record I am not Stephen “Captain Hindsight” Kinnock’s greatest fan.
In the same interview Mr Kinnock agrees with the actions of his mate Ben Wallace (surprise surprise) and even questions the government decisions behind allowing the #nowzad charter plane to land at kabul spinning the same pets v humans bullshit.
Remember his words folks!

Also, if you wonder why I come & go while reporting, I care for my disabled son after school finishes on week days so had to pop away to attend to him.
